Banana Boat Suntan Lotion Reviews

Face the Sun with Confidence

Banana Boat is a funny name and it made me want to try the products. I used Coppertone with some dissatisfaction simply because I remembered the little girl with her swimsuit being pulled on by a puppy and showing tan lines that was featured on the bottle when I was a little girl. Talk about the power of advertising! Banana Boat did it all over again and lured me with their tropical name.

I discovered the Banana Boat products were more than a catchy name. I am very satisfied with the results. I like to get a sun-kissed glow during outdoor activities in the summer without burning or exposing myself to harmful rays. My husband has suffered with skin cancer and in my youth I did some permanent damage to my skin using baby oil to bake during my teens. When I used other sunscreens, I always wound up getting burned at some point during the summer season. Banana Boat smells nice, feels great and offers a variety of products with different levels of protection for everyone in the family and all skin types.

For the kids, I use the Banana Boat Sport Sunblock Lotion with an SPF of 15 or 30, depending on where we go. They also make special formulas for babies that are gentle and effective. I like the sport sunblock because it is waterproof so the kids can go in and out of the water and still be protected against the sun. The formula is sweatproof, which also works well for my husband so this product is versatile for our family.

I happen to use the Banana Boat Protective Tanning Oil with an SPF of 15. You spray it on easily and can start sunning on the deck whenever you have a few minutes. It contains carrot and banana extracts so the aroma takes you away to an island - even if it's just for five or ten minutes.
